About
I am a surface print and pattern designer, specialising in furnishing design. My prints and patterns are designed for upholstery fabrics and home furnishings. Inspired by geometric shape found within architecture and heritage. My work is often inspired by Bradford's textile heritage taking colour and shape inspiration from mill architecture and industrial machinery. My work uses weaving in a traditional and contemporary sense, creating digital concepts using the traditional use of warp and weft. As well as weaving and dyeing wool felt for acoustic solutions. Working closely with the The Society of Dyers and Colourists to explore their archive for colour inspiration.
Woven paper samples using primary imagery from Salt's Mill, Bradford Industrial Museum and Lister Mills. Exploring how these images can be disconnected and and manipulated back together. This way of initial drawing informed the idea for my Industrious Colour felt panels, using paper weave to plan the wool felt panels.
